"The crew did a great job. They arrived on time, were perforessionla, explained how they were going to perform the work, how long it would take and cost for each area of the house. The carpets and upholstery look great and I will definitely hire them again."

"I have used Sutton for many projects throughout the last several years and I am always very pleased by the quality of the job they deliver and their meticulous attention to detail. They are fantastic to work with from the bidding stage all the way through the completion of any project, large or small. It is pretty easy to tell right from the start that customer satisfaction is their #1 priority, which I assume is extremely important to most people when choosing a contractor for any job. I highly highly recommend them for any flooring needs from carpets, to hardwood, to vinyl, to tile. I have used them for small residential carpet jobs, moderate sized hardwood flooring jobs, as well as a 10,000sq+ ft vinyl flooring installation at my office that required a special application and they knocked it out of the park each and every time. Look no further if you are in search of of a professional, knowledgeable, and high quality contractor for your flooring needs."

"Rubio and his crew were very professionally, efficient and a lot of attention to detail. They cleaned up the old pad, carpet tack, and installed Pergo Gold LVP tile oad, and Pergo LVP, I had purchased at a big box store. Because of his excellent work we intend on using him to install carpet in our basement as well."

"Mark the salesman was very helpful. The installers 3 people father/ son and another person were punctual and efficient. But they did not clean up after them self's. I spent a hour cleaning the the threads of carpet they left behind. The only other issue I have with Ron's is that I wish they had weekend hours.

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Elmwood, IL

Carpet rolls come in standard widths of 12 and 15 feet. Less commonly, you might find a roll 13.5 feet wide. There are no standard roll lengths, but they’ll have enough to cover almost any home.

You’ll need equal amounts of carpet padding and carpet. Carpet padding costs $200 to $500 for the average room. However, the padding is trimmed a couple of inches away from the wall on all sides to make room for tack strips. Most residential installs have padding, and professionals include this in their bids.

Often, the best carpet for basements doesn’t include a pad. You’ll find this mainly in humid areas or places with a high-water table.

One linear foot of carpet or other material is simply one foot measured in a straight line. You typically aren’t going to measure carpet this way. It’s quoted in square feet or square yards.

There are nine square feet in one square yard of carpet.

The amount of carpet you need to cover two rooms varies depending on the room size and configuration. Measure the floor space. Multiply width times length. Do this for both rooms and add the numbers together.

You’ll need between 80 and 110 square feet for 13 stairs. For unique stairwells, you might need more.

Measure indoor/outdoor carpet like you would any other area, taking the width times the length. For patios, make sure to add a couple extra inches to wrap around the edges. Indoor-outdoor carpets cost an average of $3.50 per square foot.

You’ll need enough carpet to cover the entire area of damage to avoid seams. For example, if you have a 4-inch tear in the middle of a hallway, you’ll want enough carpet to stretch from door to door or the next available seam. Depending on the type of carpet you have, you might be able to get a professional to do an invisible seam repair.

One square foot of carpet is one foot long by one foot wide.
